Replacement UPS battery AVACOM AVA-RBC17 sealed lead‑acid (SLA) for compatible UPS units, RBC17 form factor

AVACOM AVA-RBC17 is a sealed lead‑acid (SLA) replacement battery designed as a direct substitute for UPS units that use the RBC17 form factor. It restores backup runtime for uninterruptible power supply systems, enabling continued operation of home office equipment, small business devices and network hardware during power interruptions. The battery is manufactured to match physical dimensions and terminal layout typical for RBC17-compatible modules, allowing straightforward installation in supported UPS models.

Advantages

The AVA-RBC17 delivers reliable sealed lead‑acid chemistry in a compact form factor suitable for many common UPS enclosures. Its design minimizes maintenance requirements thanks to a maintenance‑free, valve-regulated sealed construction. The battery offers consistent voltage output under load, stable performance for standby applications, and compatibility with UPS systems that accept RBC17 replacements. Compact dimensions and standardized terminals make replacement and hot-swapping simple where supported by the UPS.

Suitable for

• Restoring backup runtime for home office PCs, monitors and routers
• Small business UPS systems protecting point-of-sale and network equipment
• Network closets and telecommunications devices requiring short-term power support
• Maintenance or replacement of end-of-life RBC17 batteries in compatible UPS models

Key specifications

• Battery type: sealed lead‑acid (SLA), valve‑regulated
• Form factor: RBC17 compatible dimensions and terminal layout
• Intended use: standby/backup for uninterruptible power supplies
• Maintenance: maintenance‑free, leak‑resistant design
• Typical mounting: horizontal or upright installation as supported by UPS
• Operating environment: indoor use, moderate temperature range typical for UPS batteries

How to use

Before replacing the battery, disconnect the UPS from mains power and turn off connected equipment following the UPS manufacturer’s safety instructions. Remove the SPS/UPS battery cover and extract the exhausted RBC17 module using the UPS-specific release mechanism or connectors. Install the AVACOM AVA-RBC17 by aligning terminals with the UPS connectors and securing it according to the UPS manual. Reassemble the battery compartment, reconnect the UPS to mains power and allow the unit to charge the new battery fully before relying on it for backup runtime. Observe safe handling practices for sealed lead‑acid batteries, including avoiding short circuits and following local disposal regulations for the old battery.

Usage recommendations

Store and operate the battery in a well-ventilated indoor location within the temperature range recommended by the UPS manufacturer. For optimal service life, keep the battery charged and perform periodic capacity checks using the UPS self-test function or a dedicated battery tester. Replace all batteries in a multi-battery UPS at the same time to maintain balanced runtime. Dispose of the spent battery at an approved recycling facility.
